First time egger with Filet questions

Unknown

Howdy folks, just got a lg BGE and I fire it up tonight for the first time. To return a favor a buddy of mine presented me with a 2.5lb BEAUTIFUL prime filet. Have it marinating in EVOO, soy sauce and garlic powder right now. [p]On my gas grill I'd cut this filet into steaks and grill them. [p]Not knowing how the bge will cook this thing I was wondering if anyone had a cooking suggestion for what is a beautiful piece of meat.[p]Thanks and I look forward to getting hooked on my EGG!

take it out of the soy!!
eeee[p]anyway.
you can roast it... keep it low, say 250-275 and let it come slowly up to temp (say 125/130 internal) then open vants ands sear all sides until you are maybe 5 degrees below your desired level of doneness.[p]or cut it into steaks. thick ones. someone will jump in with the TREX link to doind steaks that way, which is great.[p]you can alos, though, put them in a ziploc and immerse in hot hot tapwater until they are heated thru (maybe half an hour or so) and simply sear at 600/700 until you are 'done'.[p][p]be careful.... word on the street is that you need to do a series (some say 8-10) of lower temp cooks (say max 450) in order to guard against the gasket adhesive loosening and coming off.[p]though some dive right in andare fine, doing high-temp cooks right away.

geaux wine,
i'm just being a dinkus re: the soy. don't mind me.[p]as for the roast, put it on a rack in a pan. you don't want it to 'see' the fire when raosting. there are a bunch of indirect set ups, but the pan will be fine for this cook. then when you are searing, take it off the rack and pan and go direct.
